WITH the Cash.

With the Cash.
New YORK, Aug. 8 - Unless Thomas
Brown can prevent it, his wife Eliza and his
three children will sail for Queenstown this
morning on the steamship Umbria One
hundred and thirty dollars of Thomas money
will go with them, and Thomas is exceed
ingly wroth.n
He lives at Honeybrook Carbon county
Pa, and until last Tuesday Eliza and the
children lived with him. On that day she
gathered up the children and her husbands
shekels and fled to this city. Thomas was a
close second, and yesterday located his
family at the Atlantic hotel on West street,
and learned that she would sail for Europe
today unless he could prevent it.
He told his tale of woe to Sergeant Grain
ger at the Charles street police station last
evening, but learned that the police had no
right to interfere in the matter. Then he
expressed his determination to wait in front
of the hotel until his wife's baggage was
brought forth and seize it, compelling the
police TO detain both it and him
He said that he had been married to eliza
for nigh on to seventeen years" and until
recently had led peaceable life, but discord
had entered into his household and his wife
had fled. He did not care whether she went
to Europe or hades, but he wanted mis- chill
dren and his 'boodle" back.
He had given his wife the money to deposit
in the bank and she had grasped both the
money and the opportunity to steal away.

Death of an Aged Frenchman.

New YORK, Aug Ga grave among
paupers scarcely seems The fitting end of a
life extending over more than 100 years. 1t
is the end, however, that has come to Jean
Durand, who, until his death on Thursday
night, lived in dingy tenement at No.
9 Frankfort street. Durand was 100
years and 20 days old. He was a
familiar figure down town, and for sew
eral years has eked out precarious
existence by peddling razor strops. He was
a courteous and rather refined old gentlman
1t was understood among his neighbors that
he came of a very old French family, and
that he had lived under much better circum-
stances

The girl, in her frantic efforts to escape
4rom her fathers clutch and avoid his blows,
had turned first one way and then another,
striving to shield herself with her left arm
while her father firmly held her right until
he had plunged the steel into her five times
There are three wounds, any one of which
would have killed her.
On the girls breast is small, round wound,
which looked as if lead pencil might have
been driven in there. The weapon was
plunged in from above and passed down
Through n lobe of the left lung and clean
through the heart just below the valves Of
the pulmonary artery. Another stab entered
the left side between the ninth and tenth ribs,
pierced the diaphragm, and went on entirely
Through the upper part of the stomach. A
2hird wound was in the back. The weapon
entered at about one inch and half below
She point of the right shoulder blade and the
came dstase to the right of the back bone,
penetrating two and half inches. The other
wounds were in the left arm. One passed en-
tirely through the muscle on the front of the
arm, half way between the elbow and the
shoulder, so that the point of the weapon pro-
truded and abraded the girls left breast
Another wound penetrated the muscles on the
back of the same arm near the shoulder The
body was well nourished and of perfect form.
The examination confirmed the reports of the
good character the girl had always borne.
Heaven only knows how the news that the
autopsy was going on flew through the dingy
neighborhood. 1t piqued curiosity, it added
sympathy The house, weather beaten and
rickety, stands on Jackson street. separated
only by narrow coal yard from the East
river. Its front windows lock out upon the
street, widening as it runs down to the water.
From it, across the river, one can easily see
the Brooklyn navy yard, with the hulk Of
the old Constitution, the shops and the mon
ster cranes. Two stories high, the once ferry
house is occupied only in the second story by
the Pittman family.

A Violation of the British Postal Laws
Alleged

Alleged.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Young Sanger, the
district messenger boy sent to England by
Managers Frohnan and Sothern to deliver
special souvenirs, was arrested in London last
night The charge against him was that he
was violating the British postal laws. The
only particulars so far received came in this
message, received by Edward II. Low, of
Lows exchange, who made the arrangement
for the boys transportation:

THE MORMON PRESIDENCY.
The Question of Succession Has Beer
Temporarily Settled.

ne question OF succession has Been
Temporarily Settled.
SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 6-The question
Of successorship to the presidency Of the Nor
mon church has been settled temporarily by
the appearance of an address signed by Will
ford Woodruff, president of the apostles. He
says: GAS upon two former occasions in our
history, the duty and responsibility of pre-
siding over and directing the affairs of the
church of Jesus Christ in all the world de-
wolves upon the twelve apostles, with the
blessing OF the Lord and the faith and
prayers of his people, we hope to do our duty
until we, too, shall be laid to rest"
1t has been thought by some that either
George Q. Cannon or Joseph Smith, nephew
of the original Joseph, would assume the
leadership. Woodruff is in the regular line
of succession, and his address assuming con-
troll would indicate there is to be no de-
parture from the orders. Woodruff is so
ears Old and a man of mediocre ability. He
has been in hiding two years and is still out
of sight to all save the faithful.

NEW YORK YACHT CLUB.

TEREsTING FEATURES.
Though Not Race for Prize the Ex-
element Continues-The Flyers
to Go in the Teeth of
the Wind.

NEWPORT, r. l., Aug 6.-The day dawned
with an overcast sky, which, however, be-
tokened more for wind than rain. The pros
pect for fair weather for the run of the
yachts to Vineyard Haven was bad, but be-
fore the hour for the start patches of blue
sky made their appearance. Only light
breeze prevailed at the first, but that had
hauled little west of south since yesterday,
making fairer wind for the run and giving
promise of an increase. 1t was after 9 o'clock
before the yachts began preparations for the
start The sailors hurriedly hoistod sails and
soon had things aboard their respective
crafts in trim for the run
The yachts left the harbor in a bunch and
were so closely packed between Lime Rock
and Fort Adams as to narrowly escape col
lision with each other. The schooner Palmer
ran so near the steam yacht Corsair, which
was at anchor, that collision was thought to
be inevitable. The Corsair's boats were low
cred yesterday preparatory to deserving her
and the Pelmer was obliged to drop anchor
and lower her sails to avoid coming in con-
tact. The Sachem started out with the
Palmer and came near being involved in the
difficulty. The Priscilla was the first to
leave the harbor. No signal was fired for
the start, and the yachts took their own time
as they passed Brenton's Reef lightship.
THE MAYFLowEE WINS.
The flagship Electra arrived at 2:3O D.
